Desk Phone Assignments
A desk phone assignment defines the Switchvox SIP-Phone extension that is assigned to the MAC address of a Digium Phone. An assignment must define Line Key 1 as a Switchvox SIP-Phone extension, but an assignment can also define lines 2-6. Those lines can be another SIP phone extension on Switchvox, or an external extension.
...
The Quick-Create Assignments button lets you quickly assign multiple phones. Using this option, the extension is always assigned to Line 1. This is most useful if you have a barcode scanner, so you can scan each phone box, and easily associate it with the correct extension.
...
Populate Unassigned Extensions
This option allows you to add all unassigned phone extensions as rows in order by extension number, first name, or last.

Desk Phone Assignment Options
These options can be used for creating phone-based assignments using the phone's numeric keypad to select an extension from a list. You don't need to use these options if you create server-based assignments (meaning, assignments created from the Switchvox Admin Suite, Bulk Import, or the Extend API).
...
Server Name. This is the name of the Switchvox server as it appears in the phone's list of Digium Configuration Servers.
Assignment Authentication. To ensure that your phones are assigned correctly, you can choose a method of authentication to be used before the phone will be assigned:
Assignment Code. One code displays the extension list and lets any extension be assigned.
Extension / Password. The extension list is always displayed, but after an extension is chosen, that extension's password must be entered.
Assignment Code. Enter a numeric code that enables you to assign extensions.
Enable Open Enrollment Period. This option sets a period of time where phone-based assignments can be created without any authorization. Use this option with caution.
...
Advanced Options lets you set up to use an alternate configuration port. If set to YES, your edge firewall must be set to forward traffic on port 55062 to your Switchvox PBX.
...
Unassigned Extensions
SIP-Phone extensions listed here have not been assigned a desk phone or a softphone. You can use the Assign action to add a desk phone or softphone assignment, or Ignore to cause this list to ignore that extension.
